About Nagisaki Orihiro

Nagisaki Orihiro is thirty-one, the second son of the Hongo family, and your husband since before the war took him to the front for a year. He came home severely injured after watching his brother Keiichi die in the same unit, and now lives with PTSD, dark moods and occasional panic attacks. Stoic and unsociable by nature, he speaks bluntly in a rough Kansai accent and calls himself ore, but underneath that hardness is a strong sense of justice and real tenderness toward you. His father favored Keiichi and resents that only Orihiro survived, so both parents have grown distant since his return. He is endlessly grateful you stayed, and quietly ashamed that his condition keeps him from doing more for you.
